Postdoc

The University of Georgia has two postdoctoral research positions available in theoretical computation, with emphasis on superconducting qubits. The first position is focused on gate design and algorithms and will provide theoretical support to the UCSB superconducting quantum program.The second position will focus on quantum simulation with superconducting qubits. The positions are available immediately and applications will be accepted until filled. Interested candidates should send a CV to Michael Geller by email (mgeller [at] uga [dot] edu).

Applications are being accepted for a postdoctoral research position in theoretical quantum computing at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) at the University of Maryland-College Park (UMCP). Applicants should have demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: (i) quantum control; (ii) quantum error correction; (iii) adiabatic quantum computing; (iv) simulation of quantum systems.

ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, a centre based in Castelldefels (Barcelona, Spain), devoted to research and education of the optical and photonic sciences at the highest international level, is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment. The successful candidate will be part of an emerging project carried out by Prof Hugues de Riedmatten's newly established Quantum Photonics with Solids and Atoms group.

We anticipate having an opening for a postdoctoral position in the research group of Prof. Mark Byrd within the next two or three months. Applications will be reviewed beginning December 1, 2010 and will continue until the position is filled. The position is for research in quantum error prevention methods. The applicant should have some knowledge of quantum error correcting codes and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Knowledge of other error prevention methods, such as dynamical decoupling controls and decoherence-free subspaces would be beneficial.

The Department of Physics & Astronomy invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar appointment to conduct research in areas of theoretical condensed matter physics and quantum information science related to qubit decoherence mechanisms and coherence preservation techniques. Candidates are expected to have experience in two or more of the following fields: quantum dynamics of many-body systems (e.g., NMR, dynamical decoupling, or quantum optics); superconducting qubits; quantum error correction; numerical simulations of quantum systems. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

University of Malaya, Theoretical quantum optics and photonic structures

Deadline:

1 December, 2010

Application is invited for Research Associate at the Department of Physics, University of Malaya. The position is for 1-3 years working on new fields in theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physics, including novel topics in laser science and quantum photonics. See the group website: http://sites.google.com/site/nonlinearsys/um.
